Now, more than ever, facing removal is a real threat. No matter how many years individuals and families have been living in the United States, the U.S. Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services are carrying through on threats of removal from the United States. What was once a punishment reserved for immigrants who broke the law has now become a standard process for reducing the number of undocumented individuals and their families.
Legal Options to Stop or Delay Deportation Proceedings
An experienced immigration attorney at Tanner Law Offices, LLC, can assist you in raising defenses to the removal proceedings. Tanner Law Offices, LLC, is located in Camp Hill near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and provides immigration services for immigrants throughout Central Pennsylvania.
Examples of defenses which may be available include (but are not limited to):
- Green card based on marriage to a U.S. Citizen
- Asylum
- Cancellation of removal
- Voluntary departure
- U visas for victims of crime, including domestic abuse
- T visas for victims of human trafficking
- Victims of international conventions against torture
There may be other forms of relief available as well. In addition, depending on the circumstances of your case, you may need to file for a waiver to waive a ground of inadmissibility. You will need to show that your departure from the United States and inability to return will cause a severe hardship on your U.S. Citizen spouse, child, or parent. These cases involve very complex matters, and we strongly suggest that you utilize the services of a competent attorney who is also a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
